Why is it that japan has a "glass half -full" look at everything. Quirky and delightful, this anime moves you to be happy. Simple and nothing more. I found that i like programs like this more and more. With no CG MECH's or outlandish alien theme they can use more of the art budget on small tweaks that make all the difference. With the story arc streamlined and down to earth the environment seems more real. You don't have to invest much time or thought into this series it just is simply good.

good anime love it. I laughed so much it hurt i recommend it to any one looking for a laugh the characters are so easy to fall in love with the main character is a nut and every one around him isn't exactly normal ether.......pple watch and rate the show!!!!!!!!

This is seriously one of the funniest shows CR has hosted. All the characters are believable in an off the wall sorta way, quirky, nice, cute and silly. In a way, it reminds me of Hanasuka Iroha, but with no drama.

It revolves mostly are Takanashi and Inami and her inability to not punch anyone male. Basically they fall for each other, and she ends up punching him almost exclusively. All the other actors get plenty of screen time, so they are not 2D or cardboard in their appearances. Late in the show we come across Maya who gets only cameo appearances until the very last episode where we discover... that you'll just have to watch the show to find out. :P

There's alot of stuff to be said about this show but I will keep it down. The music is good, the animation is great, they don't use a lot of repeated scenes that I have noticed. Voice acting like most all anime, is top-notch. The storyline is kinda sweet in a masochistic sorta way. I loved all the characters and their weird quirks.

Trust me, you will want to watch this show. If you liked goofy anime like Mitsudomoe, Lucky Star or anything else that's just silly slice-of-life-on-caffeine, then you will love this as much as I do.

This anime was one of the first ive ever watched, and it is always the first one i suggest when someone askes me for an anime suggestion. The characters are just all so hilarious and lovable i cant help but enjoy every second! I always crack up when Yachiyo walks in with her Katana, and i just laugh every time Inami is even in a scene, because i know some crazy stuffs about to go down. Overall,

Overall, this anime is one of my favorites because of its wonderful and hilarious cast. Definitely a must-watch!

Why I like it:
Awkward analogy time. Comedy is a bit like food. Someone can describe it to you in-detail, compare it to stuff that's similar, even recommend it unreservedly, but you still have to taste it for yourself to know whether you'll like it or not. So I recommend you watch an episode or two and see if Wagnaria clicks for you. It maintains a consistent tone throughout, meaning if you love

Awkward analogy time. Comedy is a bit like food.

So I recommend you watch an episode or two and see if Wagnaria clicks for you. It maintains a consistent tone throughout, meaning if you love it (or not) that should hold true throughout the series.

Telling you to just watch it is a complete copout for a review, so here's the meat: the writing is smart, the characters are distinct and enjoyable personalities, the animation is wonderfully drawn and (more importantly for comedy) excellently timed, and the op reminds me a lot of Azumanga Daioh, which is no bad thing. The show's style is of the "put a bunch of off-kilter characters together and see what happens" variety. It's the kind of format that lives or dies on the writing of its characters, and this one is kicking and screaming (and probably has you in stitches) all the way from start to finish. The last sentence sounded a lot like a blurb, didn't it. I'm going to go wash my mouth out with soap.

However:
You don't have to watch the first season to watch the second one, but it might help if you're the type who wants to catch every joke and detail. Of course, if you're that type, you probably figured you would have to watch both seasons anyways. Not much of a caveat, but I wanted to mention that season two improves on season one, which was also excellent. Season two fixes some of the things that didn't work as well the first time around (most notably certain aspects of the relationship between Inami and Takanashi) and generally makes the show punchier. Insert your own Inami joke here.

I love all the characters at Wagnaria. Everyone has interesting quirks and personalities. My only wish is that they continue the show. It will leave you wanting more because there really is not much of a resolution!

From the first episode in season 1 to the last episode in season the oddball cast of characters that are the employees of Wagnaria! (and a few family members) never failed to entertain. The writers came up with fantastic characters that are well written and developed. Then, they wrote episodes that were witty and fun. The animators did a great job, but it's the actors who voiced each character

From the first episode in season 1 to the last episode in season the oddball cast of characters that are the employees of Wagnaria! (and a few family members) never failed to entertain. The writers came up with fantastic characters that are well written and developed. Then, they wrote episodes that were witty and fun. The animators did a great job, but it's the actors who voiced each character that brought them to life. This cast of seiyuu are perfect. I wouldn't call this a 'slice of life' (at least I hope no one has any of their lives). Instead it's a straight comedy, a very well done comedy.

Wagnaria!! is an eccentric anime about Sota Takanashi and his co-workers and the little misadventures and misunderstandings amongst staff members.

On a high note, please expect me to be a bit overwhelmed and a bit harsh because it is the first time I watched it (last night 1:24am)

Wagnaria!! is an eccentric anime about Sota Takanashi and his co-workers and the little misadventures and misunderstandings amongst staff members.

I honestly thought Wagnaria!! is an anime about food since it's setting is on a family restaurant. I was expecting it to be like Yumeiro Pattiessiere because I really love cooking or baking related-anime (not generally because of the manga/anime itself, but the recipes). I was wrong. It was about the staff and the little commotion that goes behind the scenes. Without any knowledge, that's what I would think of.

The anime itself is very spontaneous and funny. I like how it delivered the punch lines and the how the characters react and develop. Unlike others, there is no flat jokes in this anime, but you have to have acquire a wee bit of background of the anime itself in order to understand the weird and quirky jokes about the characters (e.g. Mahiru being afraid of men or the mysterious intimidating aura of Sato). At times I fail to understand the whole concept of the joke or the character itself because it's the first time I've watched it.

So far the storyline goes by day by day, so I don't get lost among the phase, but enough to keep me glued to the tv.

Music is quite average. Though I'm not a fan of it. This series doesn't have a particular opening and closing credits and theme songs so I had to pay attention to the background music. I believe that background music helps with the portrayal of the emotions and the scene. I think they have chosen light background music to convey the light-hearted tone of the show and to add the goofiness of the show.

Animation is at par, it somehow reminds me of Azumanga Daioh and 5cm Per Second. There are times that it has a chibified look and they look like much on what i see on Azumanga Daioh. The background and animation is top notch and is of good quality.

So I conclude, this Wagnaria (or Working!! 2) should be on everyone's list as one to watch because of it's light-hearted comedy with very eccentric characters. Every character is funny in their own way but really fun to watch!

Edit (note: I did this review from Ep 1 and that explains why I haven't reviewed the OP and Ending):

Music review edit:

Music is great and the transition to the opening scene is very good. The last line goes well into the transition like it is very smoothly applied. Somehow there was a part that sets me into comparing it with Azumanga Daioh or rather, there are elements that is very similar to Azumanga Daioh. The flower-costumed chibi versions of the characters was somehow similar to the ending of AD (Azumanga Daioh). Very. After all of the similarities to Azumanga Daioh (yet it is extremely different format and show), the OP describes best of what this anime really is. Spontaneous, fun, energetic and exciting. The ending is also good to watch. as well. It's very enjoyable and likable as the characters are.
